Councilmember Bustamante asked if any changes had been made to the <br />ordinance since the first reading. Jay Trevino, Executive Director of <br />Planning and Building noted that only change was to reflect amended <br />motion as approved by the City Council. <br />Mayor Pro Tern Alvarez motioned to approve ordinance; indicated that <br />developer has met with staff and neighborhood associations over the past <br />14 months; developer has committed a significant amount of money into <br />the project and that it would bring over 700 jobs to the City in the next 2 <br />years; City Council requested an increase in open space size which was <br />agreed upon by the Developer. <br />MOTION: Place ordinances on second reading and adopt. <br />MOTION: Alvarez SECOND: Tinajero <br />Councilmember Bustamente noted for the record that the reason he would <br />not support project was because it was not consistent with Council's vision <br />for site. Offered a substitute motioned to continue matter for 30 days. <br />Mayor Pulido seconded for purposes of discussion. <br />SUBSTITUTE MOTION: Continue consideration of matter for 30 <br />days. <br />MOTION: Bustamante SECOND: Pulido <br />Mayor Pro Tern Alvarez requested a clarification on Robert's Rules of <br />Order regarding member's ability to request a motion to continue who <br />originally opposed the motion. City Attorney Carvalho stated that the rule <br />applies when a motion to reconsider is being deliberated. <br />Mayor Pulido askd Planning and Building Director to address the housing <br />inclusionary component. Director Trevino noted that the development <br />agreement includes language on the fee, but a reduced amount of $3,000 <br />per unit. New fee would be calculation based on rent prices. Council <br />could continue consideration to amend fee, if so desired. <br />Councilmember Sarmiento stated that larger remnant parcel would allow <br />for development of at least partial vision for the site; proposed <br />development is not City vision, but important to maximize area and <br />consider current economic conditions. <br />Developer Robert "Bob" Bisno okay with larger remnant lot; considered <br />lien to insure performance in processing the entitlements; does not want to <br />violate CEQA; and propose to develop the remnant .8 acres as soon as <br />the market allows. <br />CITY COUNCIL MINUTES <br />APRIL 16, 2012 <br />1 0A-6
